It is essential that those who are able to afford to travel should
attend the Jalsa which is in so many ways a source of blessings.
They should not mind minor losses in the way. God gives ample
rewards to sincere believers at every step and no hardship or
trouble goes to waste (it is definitely rewarded by God). I should
like to make it clear that this Jalsa must not be taken like other
gatherings. This is a special event that has been based on the
succor of God. (Ishtihar, 7 December 1891)

I pray to God that He may be with those who are coming to
attend the Jalsa and that He may grant them great rewards and He
may show mercy and His grace. O God! O You who are the Greatest
Granter, the Benevolent and Merciful, and the Remover of hardships,
do respond to all these prayers of mine and grant us victory over
our opponents, with great shining signs, for You have the power to
do whatever You like.. (Ishtihar, 7 December 1891)

The aim of the gathering is that the sincere members of the
Jamaat should be able to derive religious benefits and at the same
time they should acquire more knowledge and advance in their
nearness to God. One advantage is that meeting their friends will
broaden their circle of brotherhood and it will strengthen the
mutual ties. (Asmani Faisla)
